One of the more esoteric parts of the AHCA is that it bans you from Medicaid if you win the lottery.

Is this saying states can automatically disenroll off your plan once you report your lottery winning? Also should we assume the worst and take high dollar to mean winnings you have to report?

Yes, you will be kicked off Medicaid once you claim your prize.

It's up to the individual states to determine the amount that qualifies as "high dollar" winnings.

Thank you for the answer and just thought of one more question what about past lottery winners, can they be affected? The language seems vague enough to let states do it.

Is it a possible for ACA to get repealed and not have replacement?
